5 Before / 5 After

73 years old. 55 years drinking beer. Imagine how depressing the five-year question would have been in 1966, compared to 2016. Keep making new, l'll keep trying new. The go-to benchmarks will be Unearthly, Dead Guy, and Guinness stout (0nly in Dublin).

 

I voted for all. If they are still being made, I still be drinking them. Plus any new ones that come along. Way too much good beer! Cheers and happy drinking to all!

 

No idea, I don't have many beers I drink very often to begin with, so I will probably still be mostly trying new stuff in 5 years.

 

The question is how many will they be making? We are in an interesting time in beer culture. Many of the beers we are trying are going to evolve in to something else or fall by the wayside

 

Been too much of a ticker to say anything but not many of them. Hoping in the coming years the percentage will go up as I get out of ticking mode and just enjoy the beers that I have scored 4.25 + or more.

 

I visit beers frequently and some are always in my fridge. Boulevard, Schlafly, and Logboat will always be in my fridge.

 

FBS, Expedition Stout, Ten Fidy & Two-Hearted.

 

I couldnt care less about the green flash thing. Hoppy birthday is amazing.
It is over priced though

 

Best avatar ever!!

 

The old favorites will stay around but can't say that it will be a lot of them because so much new stuff keeps coming out........

 

Grunion, Alpha King, Stone Enjoy By, some fresh Breaking Bud, & Platform Speed Merchant.

 

I voted not many. The world class favorites probably, but others will most likely be replaced. This is the Golden Age of Beer and in 5 years new favorites will have come down the pike and more breweries will be distributed in my area.

 

The beers that I will still be drinking in 5 years are the same as for the last 5: the classics. SNPA, Torpedo, Fat Tire, Odell IPA, Dale's Pale Ale, Black Butte. Trying new beers is fun, but these are the ones that keeps me coming back.

 

Will they still be produced in 5 years?

 

I've been just trying to sample as many different beers as I possibly can, so I'd say I plan on returning to only a few of them in 5 years. That percentage is probably around ~20%. That said, there are a few that I do look forward to picking up again here or there. The percentage seems low since I've been focusing on trying everything and building a list of what I want to try later, and keeping in mind that I'll still want to sample and try everything in the future, so there isn't a whole lot of time/space for returning brews.

 

Probably half. Tried and true beers that have been around for decades are unlikely to go anywhere.
However I'm pretty sure whatever the latest and greatest adjunct BA stout is will probably no longer be produced.

 

Heady Topper, Sculpin, Left Hand Nitro

 

they serve Nelson in heaven, you're good.

 

As long as OB makes Ten-Fidy I will buy Ten-Fidy.

I like trying new stuff, but it's always nice to return to an old favorite.
